In celebration of spring, I have been planning a new lay out. I hope you like it! I wanted something springy, because it is high time for winter to be over and for us all to commemorate that.
I also wanted a spot specifically for poetry on my blog, which will be linked to Twilight spoofy picture on the right. You can check back from time to time to see new poems listed there.
So this first post of spring is a story. A story of what how spring can inspire and excite and motivate…organization.
So I kind of freaked out when I got this in the mail Friday:
Not only was this lovely collection on sale – that $1 off means I can get S a cinnamon bun on the way out of the store, which he lives for – but now that I am trying to save on food and cook more/eat healthier, this was the perfect item to use as an excuse to wander around Ikea for an hour or two, day dreaming and laughing and being drugged by whatever odor-free chemical they must pump through the vents in that place to make us love it so much.
So S knew we were on a mission on Saturday. He even dressed the part. And of course I documented it, seeing as my handsome boyfriend loves for me to take pictures of him all the time. Well okay, 25% of the time. 9% of the time?
The other 91% of the time, he finds me odd and obnoxious, and way too concerned with capturing these important Ikea-bound moments of ours. But he bears it, because he loves me.
We did indeed have a fun time shopping, and when we got home, I was all too excited to break out my new wares and get to cooking.
Soooo many little boxes – all microwave and dishwasher safe.
It took me about an hour, but the end result was this:
2 boxes mushrooms
2 boxes Spanish onions
1 box hummus
1 box white/wheat bread
1 box chipotle dip
1 box long grain brown rice
1 box potatoes
1 box collard greens
1 box boiled cabbage
(plus nuggets and sausage for S and 4 vegan sandwiches)
Even O the Cat was impressed.
I am so ready for a yummy spring!
